Title: How Did That Happen

I wasn't looking for anything
Just standing in the usual place
She was someone I knew from passing
A familiar face, nothing more, nothing less
But then she looked at me
And something in her eyes changed

A shift, a spark, a quiet thing
Something I wasn't ready for
I saw it happening
And I couldn't look away

How did that happen
I wasn't looking for love
How did that happen
When did I become someone she was thinking of
I watched it fall on her face like rain
And I'll never be the same again
How did that happen

She was smiling, but not the way before
Not polite, not casual, not just being kind
This smile had a warmth to it
A light that was aimed at me
And I could see it happening
Right there in front of me

Her eyes were telling a story now
One that her lips hadn't said yet
I was reading every line
And I knew what it meant

How did that happen
I wasn't looking for love
How did that happen
When did I become someone she was thinking of
I watched it fall on her face like rain
And I'll never be the same again
How did that happen

I stared for a moment too long
Trying to understand what I was seeing
Another person falling, and I'm the reason
A revelation playing out in real time
So I smiled back, simple as that
And the connection clicked into place

Two people in a brand new space
Whatever was, is over now
We're both looking at the same thing
And neither of us knows how

How did that happen
I wasn't looking for love
How did that happen
When did I become someone she was thinking of
I watched it fall on her face like rain
And I'll never be the same again
How did that happen

They say love comes when you least expect it
I always thought that was a line
But I'm standing here, and it's happening to me
And I didn't see it coming, not this time

Just a smile, just a look
Just a moment, and everything changed
I wasn't ready for this
But I'm not walking away

How did that happen
I wasn't looking for love
How did that happen
When did I become someone she was thinking of
I watched it fall on her face like rain
And I'll never be the same again
How did that happen

Just a smile, just a look
Just a moment, and everything changed
How did that happen
How did that happen to me
